Waiting would be completely fine? I don't care about them releasing early, or doing previews first (I actually enjoyed the 1 chorus previews on Station). These aren't the full videos anyway, the full videos with additional opening and ending scenes are already exclusive to the DVDs.

Ignoring the fact that it's unnecessary, I think watermarks are fine and totally normal, I'm used to them. However, when it's a bright blue rectangle hovering in the corner, it becomes an eyesore. They could've easily stamped "Up-Front" on the video and lowered the opacity to get the point across. As for subs, I'm also glad they're gone but it would be nice to include English subs as closed captions

I'm actually sad about English translation being gone, because understanding the lyrics (while possibly not the best translation) means a huge deal to me... and I was looking forward to getting to know better what "Ganbare nai yo" is like from this point.

So, I went ahead and translated "Ganbarenai yo" because I absolutely LOVE the song so much, it hits home like ;o;

Japanese
Spoiler: show
がんばれないよ

ふらふらな帰り道
家までの慣れた距離
ため息が 白く溶けてゆく


最寄りのコンビニ寄って
いつものアイス買って
ああ 泣けてきちゃう


汗かいて 涙もして
徹夜して もがいたけど
足りなくって


がんばれないよ これ以上は
がんばるしか 道はないけれど
気休めの自分へのご褒美じゃ
誤魔化せない
ほんとの自信だって欲しい


こんな小さな街じゃ
何にもなれるはずない
かっこつけ うちを出た私


夢に夢を見ていた
あの日よりも上手に
笑えてるかな?


寂しくて 電話をした
けど何故か 言えなかった
「会いたいよ」


がんばりたいの もうちょっとだけ
強がること できるうちはまだ
いつの日か叶えられたときには
笑ってほしい
ほんとはダサい私を


だれに憧れてた?どんな子どもだった?
見失ったら すぐに迷子になりそうだ
何度だって 挫けたけど
それでも まだ胸は鳴ってるの


「がんばれないよ これ以上は」
胸を張って 言える時までは
早歩きに疲れた この足も
止められない
さあ 明日もがんばれ


がんばりたいよ もうちょっとだけ
強がること できるうちはまだ
いつの日か叶えられたときには
笑ってほしい
ほんとはダサい私を


誤魔化せない
ほんとの自信だって欲しい

English
Spoiler: show
I can't work any harder

I walk home on unsteady feet
along this road that I'm so used to
I sigh and the white air dissolves

I go to the convenience store
and buy the same ice-cream as always
Ah, I feel like I'm about to cry

I've struggled and shed sweat and tears
and pulled allnighters
But it's not enough

I can't work any harder than this
though I know, I can't do anything but go on
Giving myself a treat, a temporary peace of mind
won't make anything better
I want real confidence

I played tough and left home
because I couldn't really reach my dreams
in my small hometown

Am I able to put on a better smile now
than back when I had nothing but dreams?

I called them because I felt so lonely
and yet I couldn't say that I miss them

I want to work a little bit harder
at least now while I can still put up a front
I want my real, lame self to actually smile
that day when I fulfill my dreams

Who did I look up to? How was I as a child?
Whenever I feel lose sight of my goal
I feel like I'm lost
I've been crushed so many times
And yet, my heart is still pounding hard for more


Until I can actually say
"I can't work any harder than this" and completely mean it
Even though I'm tired from walking so fast
I won't stop moving on forward
I'll do my best tomorrow, too

I want to try my hardest, just a little bit longer
at least now while I can still put up a front
I want my real, lame self to actually smile
that day when I fulfill my dreams

I want real confidence that can't be glossed over

It's not perfect and all that but it definitely gets the point across and ah, I love this song ;o;
